On Extreme Role-playing Within XIV

[Alaray]

If you find people who want to write with a character of that nature, then you can. Most people I run into tend to find it uncomfortable, not all that fun, and pulls at allegorical experiences they may have had IRL before and don't really want to deal with in their own hobby that's often just for... well, fun.

In my experience, most people who choose to write characters as such tend to be pretty mediocre at actually writing a character and just want to make a scene/make other people feel uncomfortable for the sake of doing so and not for any compelling narrative. It almost always comes off as just someone's edgy high school fantasy. Especially since the actual themes at play, the morality of the theming, the compulsion for someone to be as they are, the actual nuance in the behavior and what fuels it along with the motivation are never actually explored (and, even then, isn't really a whole thing you'd tend to get into with randoms wherever due to the heavier material), which is again, just clearly someone who wants to write Shock Value the Character.
